I would think that Curlew is the most likely ID.

Thank you for the id everyone, your link was spot on Woodman, a much better picture then mine in my book. Its a pity there is not a "really good book" covering British bird feathers. |

It was RoyW's suggestion, Acipiter, although I did wonder if it could be.
I have a second edition copy of "Tracks & Signs of the Birds of Britain and Europe" by Roy Brown, John Ferguson, Michael Lawrence and David Lees that is very good but not comprehensive.

Thank you Roy, I have the same book Woodman, but as you say not comprehensive enough. |
